I. Description of Incident
Two pilots in a T-33 aircraft flying at 20,000' reported observing an object trailing a long amber-rose colored stream. The time of sighting was 1945 PST, 26 November 1952, and lasted for 20 minutes. The object appeared to be wavering slightly from side to side and remaining in a fixed position until the T-33 passed it, then it appeared to pick up speed.
II. Discussion of Incident
At 1745 EST the sun would be in a position to illuminate a vapor trail similar to the way the sun lights or colors clouds in a sunset.
III. Conclusion
Probably an aircraft.
